Hope no one's offended with this ... I'm remembering a story a prof at school who worked at Bell Labs imparted on us one day in class.
Seems as though, long ago, he was working on some system to be installed in some remote site way out in the mid-West. Someone suggested testing the cables to be "Ground Hog Proof" since there were a lot of Ground Hogs in the area. 'How do you test something to be Ground Hog Proof?' was the question. 'Guess you get some Ground Hogs.' was the obvious answer. A P.O. was cut for 4 full grown Ground Hogs, signed by the manager and sent to purchasing. About a week later, a crate marked "Ground Hogs" appeared in the lab. Cautiously, the lab guys opened up the box not knowing if these things were going to jump out and attack everyone after being cooped up for so long. What they found were 4 full grown Ground Hogs, packed in dry ice ... Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it ... --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
